Abstract

Environmental damage in Indonesia is increasingly concerning, largely due to an anthropocentric view leading to the limitless exploitation of nature. Corporate environmental crimes often violate regulations, causing detrimental impacts on society and ecology. Despite an increase in companies engaging in pollution and environmental destruction, law enforcement against these corporations has not been optimal. Therefore, environmental impact control is crucial to minimize pollution risks. Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management serves as an important legal basis in Indonesia. This study employs a normative legal research method to address the urgency of criminal law instruments in environmental protection. Criminal sanctions are considered urgent and effective in tackling environmental problems as they serve as a law enforcement tool and provide a deterrent effect. The application of environmental criminal law is based on the principles of legality, sustainable development, prevention, and restraint, aiming to educate the public and prevent irresponsible behavior towards the environment.

Abstract

The environment as a legal subject is fundamentally regulated by law. Efforts to protect and manage the environment in Indonesia continue to experience developments in its regulations, especially with the enactment of Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management, which replaced Law No. 23 of 1997 concerning the Environment. In addition to Law No. 32 of 2009, which serves as the parent law in the environmental sector, there are also other sectoral laws related to the environment, such as laws in the fields of forestry, mining, natural resources, and others. Peat swamp forests are one of the types of wetlands that are most threatened in Indonesia due to pressure from various human activities. Forest conversion or forest conversion into agricultural land, plantations, and production forests can threaten the existence of natural peat swamp forests. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the role of local governments in protecting wetland production forests in supporting food security in South Kalimantan and analyze converted agricultural land. Based on the research results obtained, 1,300 hectares of agricultural land have become yellow due to the increasingly rampant land conversion. Farmer groups in South Kalimantan are still active as farmers, 75% of whom are sharecroppers. By using annual crops, farmers in South Kalimantan produce 10-11 tons of rice per year with a 6-month planting period. However, unfortunately, the government program that encourages farmers to achieve an agricultural index of 200 per year has not been fully achieved, South Kalimantan's agricultural index is still at 100, considering that natural conditions have a major influence on the success of planted rice. Through this research, all problems regarding wetland production forests will be solved in supporting food security in South Kalimantan.

Abstract

Corporations carrying out mining activities in forest areas are still widespread, the existing laws and regulations currently in force are still not enough to prevent corporate crimes in the criminal sector without a business permit from the central government, which causes the risk of environmental damage and social disadvantage for the community, which means In the absence of harmonious law enforcement in the field, there is a need for a concept to provide legal certainty regarding the burden of criminal liability for violations by corporations carrying out mining activities without a permit through policy formulation to provide certainty. The purpose of this writing is to know, understand, analyze, describe and discover the concept of criminal law formulation policies in preventing corporate crimes that carry out mining activities in forest areas without ministerial permission. The results of this writing, through the Connectivity Legal Theory, will be believed to provide a breath of fresh air in law enforcement within the police in order to ensnare corporations that carry out covert and organized business activities. This will provide certainty in the basic guidelines. It differs in that the interpretation method is still ambiguous from various points of view and is still difficult to apply without basic references in countries that adhere to the continental European legal system. The idea of law enforcement in realizing an Article which still contains ambiguities but is based on other rules can be used as a reference to strengthen the position of the Article with the following provisions: a. Still relevant in law in the same environment; b. Still in the same hierarchy of laws and regulations; c. Connected regulations provide clarity on legal issues in legislative formulation; d. Bag-connected rules provide clarity in criminal liability

Abstract

The accelerating environmental crisis has exposed the limitations of an anthropocentric legal paradigm that continues to subordinate ecological sustainability to economic development. Within this context, the continued reliance on the ultimum remedium principle in environmental criminal law has become increasingly contested, as treating criminal sanctions as a measure of last resort often weakens deterrence and delays effective responses to serious environmental harm. Despite growing concern over environmental law enforcement, limited attention has been given to the conceptual incompatibility between the ultimum remedium doctrine and the distinctive characteristics of environmental offences. This study critically examines that incompatibility and develops a reconstruction model based on primum remedium and ecological justice. Employing normative legal research through statutory and conceptual approaches, the study analyzes legislation, legal doctrine, and theories of criminal law policy, legal systems, and law as a tool of social engineering. The findings demonstrate that ultimum remedium is ill-suited to environmental crimes that are collective, cumulative, and frequently irreversible, while Indonesia's reliance on administrative enforcement diminishes the preventive function of criminal law. This study contributes to environmental criminal law scholarship by proposing an ecological justice framework that repositions criminal law as the primary response to serious environmental offences while preserving proportionality and legal certainty.

Abstract

Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2023 tentang KUHP memperkenalkan pengakuan terhadap hukum yang hidup dalam masyarakat (living law) sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 2. Namun, pengakuan ini menimbulkan persoalan normatif ketika dihadapkan pada karakter hukum adat yang bersifat dinamis, tidak tertulis, dan berbasis nilai komunal, seperti pada Masyarakat Hukum Adat Dayak Meratus di Kabupaten Tapin. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis makna living law serta merumuskan model sinkronisasi sanksi adat dengan sistem pemidanaan nasional. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan sosiologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya disparitas antara sanksi adat dan ketentuan denda dalam KUHP Nasional, misalnya denda adat perkelahian sebesar Rp25.000.000 yang tidak sejalan dengan batasan denda Kategori II sebesar Rp10.000.000. Ketidaksinkronan ini berpotensi menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum serta melemahkan legitimasi lembaga adat. Selain itu, kewajiban formalisasi hukum adat ke dalam Peraturan Daerah menimbulkan paradoks karena dapat mengurangi sifat lisan dan fleksibel dari hukum adat. Bahkan, terdapat risiko kriminalisasi terhadap praktik tradisional tertentu seperti bahuma. Penelitian ini menawarkan model harmonisasi melalui Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Tapin dengan pendekatan kodifikasi selektif-integratif serta penerapan yurisdiksi ganda. Lembaga adat juga diposisikan sebagai mediator utama untuk memastikan penyelesaian berbasis keadilan restoratif. Dengan demikian, integrasi hukum adat dan hukum nasional dapat berjalan seimbang tanpa menghilangkan karakter asli hukum adat. Model ini juga menempatkan mekanisme koordinasi antara pemerintah daerah aparat penegak hukum dan pemangku adat sebagai instrumen penguatan kepastian hukum sehingga pengakuan living law tidak hanya bersifat formal tetapi mampu menjamin efektivitas penegakan hukum perlindungan hak masyarakat adat serta terciptanya keseimbangan antara kepentingan negara dan masyarakat.
